Socially conscious wine label available at New World Rangiora from this week

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

A North Canterbury wine label working to help survivors of slavery will be available in a local store for the first time this week.

Grape growers Pete and Alanna​ Chapman started social enterprise 27seconds in Waipara just over a year ago.

The couple have partnered with Hagar International, an organisation that works with survivors of slavery and abuse in Afghanistan, Cambodia and Vietnam, to ensure 100 per cent of their wine's profits are used to help survivors of slavery.

Poll: What should happen to the cathedral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In August, restoration of the Christ Church Cathedral was put on hold. Church leaders have no idea when work might restart.

Last year, the Government declined to provide further funding beyond $25 million, and the church, who had raised $24m in donations and contributed $49m including insurance, said further public support will be required to find the revenue required.

What do you think the next steps should be for the cathedral?
